I went to RTB in shoreline 2008 and 2009, they keep pushing dates back, the shows used to be early August , but now they in September so im missing the shows. The Lineup is dope tho maybe except Hopsin.

It saddens me how Rock The Bells has fallen off. It was the last big tour where you could see all the hottest new hip-hop and the greatest OGs in the game with a plethora of talented underground acts mixed in. Don't get me wrong, the line up is decent, but it used to be mind blowing retarded good. Last time I went in 2010 in NYC they had rakim, slick rick, lauryn hill, snoop dogg preforming his entire first album with warren G and lady of rage, tribe called quest murdered it and brought out busta and swizz beats, and of course Wu-Tang was there, and like 10-20 other good ass artists from Murs to Wiz pre-going pop and making songs for bitches. Chris Rock came out on stage. Legendary shit used to go down at rock the bells and it used to travel all around the country. Now it just stays out in CA, and there is far more mediocrity peppered in the line up. Very dissapointing.

Some seem alright but you US cats are lucky you can get to see all these cheap shows individually for so cheap...so many artists don't even roll through Canada and if they do it's like 1 or 2 cities...only reason I wanna move down there is for how fucking awesome the concerts would be.

Lineup isn't as great. Went to RTB last year and the lineup was better i.e. Kendrick, J Cole, Dipset, DMX, Wu Block, Cudi, Bone Thugs, Common, Cube, etc was there.

No big names but the lineup definitely have a lot of underground/backpack rap acts. A lot of them look like openning acts TBH. However, it takes me back 10+ years seeing Immortal Technique, Supernatural, Brother Ali, Jurassic 5, and Dilated Peoples on there..
